Chapter 350: Seizing Gaia Consciousness

Intense holy light descended from the void, penetrating all matter and souls, shining directly on Eywa. The already decaying Eywa screamed and wailed under this holy light.

The Great Serpent's holy light was not ordinary light; it was full of aggression and destruction. It wanted to destroy everything in this world that did not belong to light, return the world to a state of chaos, and then reopen and create a new world.

The Great Serpent was like this in the beginning, but unfortunately, his plan to destroy the world was stopped by the Three Sacred Treasures family. And now, the Great Serpent's world-destroying power appeared on Pan Duola, and Pan Duola had no Three Sacred Treasures, so Eywa wailed in pain under the holy light.

"The power is not strong enough. Great Serpent, transmit more power." Ye Nan said in his heart, "We are still a little short—just a little short, and we can destroy her. Even if we can't destroy her completely, we can beat her into a weak state, or even imprison her. When that time comes, you can become the Gaia consciousness on Pan Duola."

Seeing that Ye Nan still didn't forget to tempt him at this time, the Great Serpent couldn't help but smile. "Since you say it's almost there, then I will add some effort."

The Light of Heaven erupted fiercely from beneath Ye Nan's feet. This radiance even covered the radiance brought by the Sunshine.

"Erupt! Sunshine."

Ye Nan roared angrily. The holy light, several times more violent than before, rushed over. Eywa, who was already unable to resist, collapsed directly. The ten-thousand-meter tree, under the shining of the holy light, turned into molecules and then disappeared into space.

"Remember this, you damned demon. I am not finished with you." Eywa roared angrily, her gentle face somewhat dim and somewhat illusory.

She had just merged with the big tree, and the big tree was destroyed. Coupled with her consciousness being directly exposed to the Sunshine, the damage she received was even greater. At this moment, her consciousness was already on the verge of destruction. Unless she could escape back to her Hometree and connect with the consciousness of all creatures in the world, she could not recover.

"Great Serpent, it's up to you." Ye Nan smiled faintly, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and ruthless.

"Stairway to Heaven."

The Great Serpent pointed his hand, and a head similar to a demon appeared on the fleeing Eywa. As soon as this head appeared, it laughed wildly, and then intense Light of Heaven erupted beneath her feet, trapping her within it.

The Great Serpent, having done all this, did not continue to make a move, but closed his eyes. The next moment, radiance erupted from his body, and a man in white pants and a bare upper body walked out. This man had a slender body, and his skin was full of strength and beauty. On his chest was a small sun. He looked at Eywa and said: "Too weak."

After speaking, the Great Serpent ignored Eywa and walked straight into the Hometree, intending to occupy the magpie's nest and become the new Gaia consciousness of this planet.

Seeing the Great Serpent's actions, Eywa went crazy. She roared fiercely, "You demon, get out quickly."

The Hometree was her foundation, even more important than her consciousness. If her consciousness were destroyed, perhaps she could be resurrected inside the Hometree. But once the Hometree was occupied, Eywa would be deprived of her status as Gaia consciousness, thereby becoming a spirit with no one to rely on.

"You should think about yourself first, Eywa." Although he was dissatisfied that the Great Serpent had only imprisoned Eywa, at this time, he still knew what was important.

"Return the Hometree to me, and I promise you, I will let you occupy this planet. I will not come forward to stop you." Although Eywa hated Ye Nan to the bone, facing such a situation, Eywa rationally chose to surrender....

She was not a pure Gaia consciousness. Theoretically, Gaia consciousness could not give birth to a true self-will. They only had the most primitive instincts—the two instincts of escaping destruction and developing and growing.

But Pan Duola was somewhat different. On the original Pan Duola, two Gaia consciousnesses were born—one was the Father of the Sky born from birds, and the other was the Mother of the Earth born from the creatures of the earth. As soon as these two Gaia consciousnesses were born, they fell into a long war. Whether it was the Father of the Sky or the Mother of the Earth, both wanted to swallow the other and become a complete Gaia consciousness.

Thus, an endless war began. The birds in the sky and the animals on the earth fought constantly. Their blood dyed the sky red and dyed the earth red. All creatures fought until their eyes were red. Even the Banshees, known as the gentlest, participated in this battle. The final result was the failure of the Father of the Sky.

However, just as the Mother of the Earth and the Father of the Sky were merging, the resentment of the dead creatures quietly entered the Gaia consciousness.

Theoretically, Gaia consciousness is the collective consciousness of all creatures on the planet, so the resentment of dead life is also a part of Gaia consciousness. And when endless resentment entered it, Eywa was born.

In other words, Eywa is Gaia consciousness, but Gaia consciousness is not Eywa.

"If you had surrendered to me before today, I might have accepted your surrender, but unfortunately, it is too late now." Ye Nan shook his head. Since he had reached a deal with the Great Serpent, he had no reason to betray this deal for Eywa. Anyway, whether the Great Serpent was Gaia consciousness or Eywa was Gaia consciousness, it was the same.

"You will not die well." Eywa cursed viciously, "You will surely be spurned by all living beings, you will surely head toward destruction, you demon, you butcher, all living beings will reject you, all will oppose you."

At the moment Eywa cursed, Ye Nan clearly felt the rejection of this world, as if he had suddenly been spurned by all living beings in this world. However, when thick holy light erupted from the Hometree, all rejection and all spurning disappeared.

"No..." Seeing this scene, Eywa immediately understood what was going on and immediately screamed in despair. That sound was truly heartbreaking for those who heard it.

"If you had known today would come, why act as you did in the beginning?" Ye Nan sighed leisurely, feeling a sense of sympathy for Eywa. But soon, Ye Nan extinguished this sympathy, and his whole face became gloomy.

"At this point, you are still trying to covet my soul. Stupid, how could my soul be something you can covet?" Ye Nan roared angrily.

Just a moment ago, his soul clearly showed abnormal fluctuations, which was why he was particularly angry.

"Stupid Eywa, since you made the wrong decision, you must bear the consequences."

"Wait a moment."

A voice came from afar, directly interrupting Ye Nan's words.

An aircraft flew over from afar and stopped before Ye Nan. The hatch opened, and Dr. Matthew jumped out from inside.

"Dr. Matthew, why did you come?" Ye Nan asked.

Shouldn't Matthew be in the base? Why did he run here? This thought wandered in Ye Nan's mind, and Ye Nan, unable to think of an answer, asked it out loud.

"I heard you defeated the Gaia consciousness of this planet, so I came to monitor it." Matthew smiled awkwardly and quickly focused his attention on Eywa, who was trapped in the Stairway to Heaven. "Is this the Gaia consciousness of this planet? Tsk tsk, truly a powerful consciousness."

Matthew clicked his tongue in wonder. In science, there had long been guesses about Gaia consciousness. However, those were all guesses, and no one had ever seen Gaia consciousness. But now, he saw it—saw the legendary Gaia consciousness. Although this Gaia consciousness was somewhat different from the description....

"She is Eywa," Ye Nan replied.

"Eywa, is it? Ye Nan, hand her over to me for research." Matthew said, putting on a pitiful look, as if he would cry for Ye Nan to see if Ye Nan didn't agree.

Ye Nan naturally wouldn't be deceived by him. However, Ye Nan was very interested in Matthew's goal, so he asked: "You tell me first what you want to do with Eywa. If I think it's okay, I will hand her over to you."

"Of course, to do experiments," Matthew said righteously.

"I am asking what experiment you are doing. Don't just pick any experiment to fool me." Ye Nan directly pierced through Matthew's plan.

This Matthew could be said to have a bad track record. The thing he liked most was to draw a big cake and then tell you how much funding he needed and what materials he needed. So although he was a genius, most people didn't like him, including Dr. Stark and Dr. Ashford.

"Isn't it just that kind of experiment?" Matthew looked at Eywa eagerly, his eyes full of desire. "You also know that I like to study biology, and something like Gaia consciousness is a very good experimental specimen for me. I intend to manufacture her into a behemoth creature, as big as a planet."

Matthew gestured, his eyes full of fanaticism. "Once the manufacturing is successful, it will become the most powerful creature."

Ye Nan was tempted when he heard this. A creature the size of a planet—once the research was successful, it could be said that the combat power of the Time-Space Empire would directly go up several levels. But...

Ye Nan looked at the excited Matthew and asked a question: "How do you intend to do it? Is there data support?"

"Uh..." The excited Matthew was suddenly dumbfounded. He also had such a vague idea after watching Galactus, and it wasn't until he heard about Gaia consciousness that he formed a complete idea.

In his eyes, the larger the creature, the more nerve lines it had, especially for a creature the size of a planet, which required even stronger consciousness support. And Gaia consciousness was just such a consciousness that could support the activities of a planet-sized creature.

However, this idea had just formed, so where could he find data support? So when Ye Nan asked, he was directly dumbfounded. He couldn't just say directly, I just thought of this research, you give me the materials and funding first.

"Are you playing that trick of cheating and swindling again?" Ye Nan looked at Matthew suspiciously. The thing Matthew liked most was taking funding to do his own research, while what he told investors was that you needed to add investment and give me so-and-so.

"How is that possible?" Matthew was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, screaming fiercely. "I have never cheated or swindled."

After speaking, Matthew said angrily: "You erase her consciousness, and then wait. I will go organize the data and give a feasible plan."

"Oh." Ye Nan said a cold "oh" and no longer paid attention to Matthew.

Seeing Ye Nan's cold attitude, Matthew was immediately angry. He felt he had been slighted—he, this genius, had been slighted.

"I will definitely research the most powerful creature to show you." ===== CHAPTER 351 =====
